AN OSCAR FOR THE LOUMA CRANE !
The LOUMA CRANE inventors thank the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its decision to award an OSCAR® statuette, "Academy Award of Merit", to the LOUMA CRANE at the Sci-Tech Awards Ceremony on February 12 2005 presented by Scarlet Johanson
"To Jean-Marie Lavalou, Alain Masseron and David Samuelson for the engineering and development of the Louma Camera Crane & remote system for motion picture production - The Louma pioneered the remotely-operated camera head combined, with a lightweight and portable modular crane. Its design has proved to be the inspiration for numerous subsequent remote camera systems."
